     For my storybook, I have found that wikipedia is a great source to find more information about the three Saints I want to write about! Wikipedia itself gives a lot of information, but I love how it also has the references at the end so I can see all the different websites the information came from.       The three stories I want to include are the stories of St. Lucy, St. Therese, and St. Joan of Arc. I mainly want to tell these stories in a diary format. In the beginning of the semester where we looked at past story books from the past, I read numerous ones that had a diary format which I really liked. For the Saints, I can tell their story on a more personal level and write about possible feelings and thoughts they had when they went through the things they did. St. Therese has her own diary called "Story of a Soul", but I would like to tell her story a little differently then she does in her own diary.       I originally wan...

Like I talked about in my other post, I am very interested in writing about 3 women Saints. The one's I am interested in right now are St. Therese of Lisieux, St. Lucy, and St. Joan of Arc. Writing a diary entry for each of them would help me learn more about these saints and also have a chance to tell their story from their perspective.  St. Therese of Lisieux is actually my confirmation saint. St. Therese lived as a Carmelite and sadly died very young due to tuberculosis. She is known as the "Little Flower" because she saw herself as the little flower of Jesus. She has actually written her own autobiography, The Story of a Soul , which I have a physical copy of. Even though she is my confirmation saint, I sadly do not know much about her. I want to take this opportunity to write about her and learn more about her life. Source I remember learning about St. Lucy  when I was very young, and being inspired by her story. She denied getting married to a Pagan because she want...

One of the possible topics I wanted to research before I started this assignment was Greek Mythology. The names of the greek gods and goddesses are very familiar to me, but I do not know any of the stories! I have never learned about greek mythology in school, so I think my story book would be a perfect opportunity to start. This topic is very overwhelming because there are so many stories to choose from. I am mostly interested in the stories of the greek goddesses, especially Aphrodite and her different lovers.  The second topic I am interested in is the Saints. I am Catholic and I have always loved learning about the different saints and their life stories. It would be so interesting to me to research a saint or saints and write a story about them. St Joan of Arc, St. Lucy, and St. Therese of Liseux are some of my favorite women saints. An idea for a story book would be putting their stories into a format of a diary.  Along with the theme of religion, I would be interested ...
